“…Alternative scenario-based planning stimulates various possible scenarios and examines its effect on the zones of an urban city. Lewis et al (1999), Abdel-Galil (2012) and Geneletti et al (2017) observed that cities should plan based on scenarios so that the nation can control investment, plan long time sustainable development, control unnecessary spending and efforts on demolishing infrastructure, etc. These preventions are essential for emerging nations such as India; therefore, the approach based on alternative zone-specific city planning would help developers and government in designing cities optimally.…”

“…In this process, the foremost challenge that exists in front of city planners is to gauge indicators that help to measure urban development linked to sustainable city planning. Sustainability assessment indicators implementation was used as an instrument for analysing the urbanization impacts on urban development with several resolutions (Abdel-Galil, 2012).…”

Purpose This study aims to gauge the effect of rural–urban migration and its challenges on the urban development of Bengaluru. This study examines the driving forces behind urbanization and its impact on social, economic and environment areas. The research helps to establish the sustainable city planning, after evaluation of specific challenges of zones, and this mitigation will optimize government investment and reduce cost. Design/methodology/approach Bengaluru is used as a study area to examine the interaction of migration and urban development. The study covers the period between 2011 and 2019. Panel data analysis is applied to measure the effect of urban development indicators on urban migration. The authors applied the integrated urban metabolism analysis tool to quantify the urban development indicators and identified the most critical areas for migrants. Later, authors proposed mitigation measures based on alternate scenario approach. Findings The authors found that there is a mixed effect of urban migration on urban development across various zones in Bengaluru. Besides, the authors suggest how planned collaboration should play a significant role in urban planning and optimize city planning judiciously. Effective mitigation measures should be developed based on zone-specific core issues, and practical trainings, research, public awareness campaigns and skill up-gradation of migrants would enhance the socio-economic and environmental conditions. Research limitations/implications The study will support the ongoing and upcoming initiatives launched by the Government of India i.e. Awas Yojna, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swach Bharat. Practical implications The structured city planning suggested in the study will help to save wastage of resources and cost and time of developers and policymakers. This will also help to upgrade the status of migrants and enhance the ambience of city around social, economic and environment fronts. Originality/value The first of its kind of innovative model mapped in the study area establishes a link between strategic city planning under rural–urban migration and urban development.

“…Traditionally, master plans, land use allocation, and functional zoning were used as the main tools for urban growth management [12]. Functional zones were used to prescribe land use characteristics and economic functions of an area, while master plans were employed to locate the future functional zone [3].…”

Developing Policy Scenarios for Sustainable Urban Growth Management: A Delphi Approach

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In many parts of the world, a rapid urbanization process is taking place at an unprecedented scale, and its drastic impacts on societies and the environment are evident. To combat the externalities of such rapid, and to a degree uncontrolled, development, many cities around the globe introduced various urban growth management policies. However, policy making-to provide sustainable outcomes, while generating growth opportunities-has been a daunting task for urban administrators. To ease the task, scenario-based planning methods are introduced to produce alternative visions for managing urban growth in sustainable ways by incorporating various socio-environmental issues. However, even though modelling urban growth and associated impacts based on these scenarios have emerged to strengthen and quantify the future of urban policies and related planning actions, this process has a number of glitches. Major issues include the uncertainties associated with the selection of suitable methods to generate scenarios, identify indicators to be used to assess scenarios, evaluate scenarios to prioritize for policy formulation, and assess the impacts of policy scenarios. This paper aims to address the challenge of developing suitable policy scenarios for sustainable urban growth. As for the methodological approach, the study undertakes a thorough review of the literature and current practices, and conducts a two-round Delphi survey-involving experts from public, private and academic sectors specialized in the fields of urban planning, environmental planning, social planning, transportation modelling, and economic development. The expert driven policy scenarios are validated in a local context by comparing findings against the policy options as proposed in the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (Australia). The findings offer valuable guidelines for planners, modellers, and policy makers in adopting suitable methods, indicators, and policy priorities, and thus, easing the daunting task of generating sustainable policy solutions.

“…A interação entre esses grupos poderia ter gerado outros resultados à Querência no que tange à governança ambiental e ao ordenamento territorial. Essa interação não aconteceu nessa arena de ação durante o período de análise, e este fato demonstra um caso em que situações de conflito e assimetria de poder corrompem a agenda e as instâncias de governança ambiental no Brasil, como nos Conselhos Municipais em nível estadual e federal, nos processo de avaliação de impacto ambiental, nos Comitês de Bacias Hidrográficas (Jacobi and Sinisgalli, 2012 Agrosatelite et al (2018); GLOBALSAT (2009) A pergunta que emergiu nesse momento da pesquisa foi: se a arena de ação se formou, e os participantes diretos foram o Sindicato Rural e as organizações sociedade civil, como se posicionaram os demais grupos sociais presentes no município? De acordo com as entrevistas, durante a formação da arena de ação, houve uma mobilização, paralela: representantes da agricultura familiar, do sindicato dos trabalhadores rurais, ativaram suas redes de contatos nacional na tentativa de buscar soluções para os liberar os embargos, pois muitas dessas áreas já haviam sido plantadas.…”

“…Para fazer frente à complexidade da questão, tem-se observado uma demanda crescente por estruturas de governança e arranjos institucionais que agregue, além dos instrumentos de mercado e ou somente regulações, a cooperação entre campos de ação, e arranjos locais que deem suporte a arranjos globais, que apoiem ações concertadas, de sistemas de governança de diversas escalas geográficas e sociopolíticas. Ou seja, a complexidade dos problemas ambientais necessita de ações compartilhadas, não somente coordenadas pelos governos, mas também pela sociedade, onde o conjunto de iniciativas, de regras e ações possa contribuir tanto na transparência das estruturas estatais, das políticas públicas, quanto na capacidade de influenciar as dinâmica das instituições de mercado, e assim atingir objetivos comuns no enfrentamento dos desafios socioambientais contemporâneos (Jacobi and Sinisgalli, 2012;Moura, 2016). Sabe-se que o desempenho eficiente das instituições públicas pode facilitar e promover avanços nas práticas ambientais e climáticas, contudo mesmo com a performance positiva das instituições públicas os resultados podem estar abaixo do esperado, devido aos fatores exógenos que influenciam os arranjos institucionais e a governança (Moura, 2016).…”
